During his media round on Tuesday, Johnson hinted that it’s on his mind, telling Times Radio he will accept the pay commission’s recommendations on the wage floor. The panel is analysing feedback on a draft proposal to boost the rate workers aged 23 years and older by 5.7% to £9.42 an hour next April.
The government has asked its commission on low pay to report its recommendations this month, and an obvious time to announce a change would be in Sunak’s budget announcement on October 27. People familiar with the matter said Johnson’s speech would be more focused on laying out his government’s vision, rather than specific policy announcements.
